What If? Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions
By Randall Munroe
In good clean condition from a smoke free home. There is an award plaque adhered to the first inner page.
From the creator of the wildly popular xkcd.com, hilarious and informative answers to important questions you probably never thought to ask.
Fans ask him a lot of strange questions: How fast can you hit a speed bump, driving, and live?
When will Facebook contain more profiles of dead people than living? How many humans would a T-Rex rampaging through New York need to eat a day? In pursuit of answers, Munroe runs computer simulations, pores over stacks of declassified military research memos, solves differential equations and consults nuclear reactor operators. His responses are masterpieces of clarity and hilarity, complemented by comics. They often predict the complete annihilation of humankind, or at least a really big explosion.
